KS2 Teacher

Job Description

A welcoming and inclusive primary school in Ashton, Tameside is seeking to appoint a dedicated Key Stage 2 Teacher to join their team on a full-time, temp-to-perm basis starting in September.

The year group assignment will be determined based on the successful candidate's strengths and experience; applications are warmly encouraged from those who are confident teaching across Years 3 to 6.

The school is single form entry, with a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for pupil premium funding and those with SEND. The school is committed to providing a structured, nurturing environment where all children can thrive, and pupils benefit greatly from consistency, clear routines, and positive role models within the classroom.

The school prides itself on delivering a broad and rich curriculum that builds progressively on pupils' prior skills and knowledge. There is a strong emphasis on developing children's cultural capital and deepening their understanding of the wider world.

As the KS2 teacher, you will be expected to:

• Teach purposeful lessons in line with National Curriculum standards. Whilst there are established educational schemes in place, you will be encouraged to adapt and bring creativity into teaching.
• Build an effective rapport with pupils based on trust and mutual respect and act a positive role model to encourage positive choices and behaviours.
• Use both formative and summative assessment strategies, geared around effective questioning to determine who has met learning objectives and plan appropriate interventions.
• Incorporate modern technology into lessons, alongside a variety of visual, auditory, and hands-on approaches to ensure learning is engaging and accessible for all
• Be an excellent team player who shares best practice and contribute to all aspects of school life.

This class teaching position provides a challenging, yet highly rewarding environment, ideal for a teacher who is resilient, reflective, and passionate about making a meaningful difference in children's lives.

The successful candidate will:

• Be a qualified teacher with experience or strong interest in Key Stage 2
• Be committed to high standards of teaching, learning, and behaviour
• Have a strong understanding of how to support pupils with diverse needs, including SEND
• Be able to provide references to demonstrate excellent classroom proficiency.
• Be subject to an enhanced DBS check and overseas police check (if applicable)

In return, the school offers a supportive team environment, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to make a lasting impact within a close-knit school community.

Applications are welcomed from both experienced teachers and those earlier in their careers who are eager to develop within a supportive and purposeful setting.
